My Western Michigan vs. Eastern Michigan player props break down this massive second game of a Tuesday MACtion doubleheader, as the visiting Broncos look to clinch the conference’s regular-season title. Western Michigan is a 6.5-point road betting favorite for this game that kicks off from Rynearson Stadium in Ypsilanti, Mich., at 7:30 p.m. ET (ESPN2). 

My college football Week 14 predictions expect Western Michigan to lean on a running game that turned in one of the best yardage outputs in school history last week. At the same time, Eastern Michigan will avoid challenging the stingy Broncos' run defense.

💰 Best Western Michigan vs. Eastern Michigan player props

⬆️  Noah Kim player prop: Over 198.5 passing yards (-114) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Western Michigan’s run defense had allowed 3.6 yards per carry and 121 rushing yards per game before allowing Northern Illinois to run for 174 yards in the last game. But outside of a 43-yard Telly Johnson Jr. run, the Huskies averaged 3.4 yards per carry on their other 42 attempts.

With the Broncos likely to make yet another opponent one-dimensional, I expect Eastern Michigan to attack early and often through the air.

Noah Kim ranks in the top 35 in passing yards and completions per game, and the top 50 in passing touchdowns, passing yards per game, and points responsible for.

Eastern Michigan also has had at least one 100-yard receiver or rusher in six straight games (three rushing, three receiving). With the likelihood low that one of its running backs cracks the 100-yard barrier, it bodes well for Kim’s chances of cashing this Over if the Eagles can finish with another 100-yard receiver.

FanDuel’s -114 price carries a 53.27% implied probability, and would net $8.77 on a winning $10 wager.

⬇️  Broc Lowry player prop: Under 0.5 passing touchdowns (+142) ⭐⭐⭐

Western Michigan rushed for 361 yards, 6.1 yards per carry, and five touchdowns in its last game, taking advantage of a Northern Illinois defense that had ranked 107th in EPA per play and 125th in Rushing Success Rate allowed. 

The Broncos showed off their depth with three 100-yard rushers, and I am banking on them employing another run-heavy attack this week.

I am only rating this a three-star play because Western Michigan ranks 40th in Success Rate and is in the top 20 in red-zone scoring. But the Eagles have held back-to-back opponents to 260 or fewer total yards for the first time since 2018, so red zone trips may be few and far between for the Broncos.

If Lowry finishes with no passing touchdowns for the sixth time this season (and the third straight week), my $10 winning wager would return $14.20 in profits.


6️⃣ Best Western Michigan vs. Eastern Michigan touchdown scorer bet

🔥 Dontae McMillian TD pick: Anytime touchdown scorer (+135) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Eastern Michigan running back Dontae McMillan needs 97 rushing yards to become the 15th player in school history with 1,000 rushing yards in a season. He is 46th in the country in yards per carry, 39th in rushing yards per game, and 38th in all-purpose yards. 

Oddsmakers do not expect McMillan to reach the 1,000-yard plateau, setting his O/U for rushing yards at 72.5 for the game. But McMillan has four 100-yard rushing performances and averages 5.7 yards per carry on first down. 

I expect him to be given plenty of opportunities to make school history, and it should pay off at least one touch with a score. This is a confident four-star best touchdown scorer bet, as Eastern Michigan is one of two FBS teams with a 100% red zone success rate.

The +135 odds at FanDuel would net $13.50 in profits on a winning $10 wager.
